New Jersey Assembly
In the 2021 general election, Sawyer, together with her Republican running mates Bethanne McCarthy Patrick in the Assembly and Edward Durr in the Senate, knocked off Democratic incumbents Stephen M. Sweeney in the Senate and John Burzichelli and Adam Taliaferro in the Assembly. Before the election, the district had been viewed as a "solidly 'blue'" safe district for Democrats.

Sawyer was one of a record seven new Republican Assemblywomen elected in the 2021 general election, joining seven Republican women incumbents who won re-election that year.

In the June 2023 Republican primary, Sawyer ran against incumbent Edward Durr for the 3rd district seat in the New Jersey Senate. Durr won by a 65-35% margin winning all 38 of the municipalities in the district.
